Business Students Achieve Top Global Performance

Posted: May 9, 2023



Each year, HIU  program have the opportunity to participate in GLO-BUS, a global online interactive business strategy simulation. In April, the stellar team of Sarah Maniskas and Lisanne Siebrecht ranked #8, earning recognition as a "Global Top 100 Company." Hundreds of schools and thousands of students participate worldwide.  To be ranked near the top is a remarkable accomplishment.  

Sarah and Lisanne participated in the GLO-BUS simulation as part of their capstone Student Strategy & Policy class, taught by HIU's V.P. for Business & Finance, Tom McGlinchey. Students are given information and must respond with strategic decisions based on that information. The simulation then gives new data based on previous student decisions on which students make more strategic decisions. This cycle repeats itself each week throughout the course.  

“Your students should be quite proud of such an excellent performance," stated GLO-BUS authors. “The success of these students reflects quite well on HIU and the caliber of instruction they are receiving.”
